Mankind is generally recognised to mean human beings. At least, that's how I always interpreted it. My point is that to use a male term to include females (eg actors ) is sometimes promoted and sometimes seen as sexist eg mankind. It's the inconsistency that annoys me.
Anyway should have put this elsewhere as off the thread topic!
